I saw this post by Charlie Kirk a while back and was struck by the attitude that California Governor Gavin Newsom expresses in the third slide:

“You don’t believe in climate change. You are excused from this conversation.”
Excuse me? So because Trump doesn’t share the same beliefs as Newsom, he is “excused” from the conversation?
In other words, Newsom seems to be saying, only people with the same beliefs as him are allowed to participate in the conversation. Only people with the same beliefs as him are allowed to voice their opinions.
News flash: Gavin Newsom does not have the right to dictate who is allowed to participate in a conversation and who is not. He does not have the right to dictate which people are and are not allowed to voice their opinions.
I am so tired of these types of pompous, self-righteous, stuck-up, and condescending statements. People need to actually listen to those who are different from them, or at least respect those who are different from them, rather than mindlessly condemning and shaming them as Newsom does.
